I Feel Discouraged, Lord. Will You Help Me Overcome?

Posted by Nan Jones | May 18, 2025 | Uncategorized |

Father, I’m reminded of Your unfolding grace, Your unforced rhythms of grace so amazing, so available … so sufficient. So why do I feel so discouraged? Why am I drowning in complacency, just going through the motions, clinging to Your hand? Will You help me overcome, Lord?

You are my God, my faithful Father who has never failed me. Stir within me and help me rise from this pit. I got swallowed up slowly … over time … and wasn’t aware of how much the world was taking out of me.

Farther Along, Lord, I’ll Understand Why

Lord, life in a fallen world can be hard, and yet You remain through it all, never leaving the side of Your child. Things can be difficult — bewildering — but I have learned that farther along I’ll understand why. As I rest in Your sovereignty, one day I’ll know all about it and give praise for Your goodness.

You do all things well, Lord. You hung the stars in place, You tell the ocean how far it can come. You hold the seas in the hollow of Your hands, and You search my heart and know all of my anxious thoughts.

Carry Me Close to Your Heart, Lord. I Need to be Held

Lord, how precious You are. Thank You for loving me so beautifully. In the wilderness places, You carry me close to Your heart; in the difficult places, You comfort me and whisper Your perfect peace over my restless heart.

You quiet me with Your love.

What manner of love is this? The depths cannot be understood, and yet, I know it well — I live within Your love. For it is in You that I live, move, and have my being.

The Path is Bright. The Path is Dark…But for Grace

Father, Your hand has held me, guiding me through my life — I love to sense Your grip on mine. Doors open. Doors close. The path is bright. The path is dark. And every step is covered by Your grace.

Oh, Lord, were it not for Your grace …

You are El Shaddai, the All-Sufficient God. Your sufficiency meets my insufficiency, and I am helped. Your grace rains upon me, and I am strengthened in the difficult place.

You Whispered My Name at the Cross, Jesus

Lord, I love You, and I am so thankful for my salvation. May I never take it for granted. When I consider the works of Your hands, when I think about You, the Lord of lords and the King of kings, knowing my name, I am overwhelmed with wonder.

How can it be? Before I was formed in my mother’s womb, You knew me. When You suffered and died on the Cross, I was on Your mind. I cannot fathom such love, yet I know Your love is true. I am embraced by the depth of Your love, transformed and renewed — Jesus, You restore my soul.
